Bulletins & Advisories

ONI issues bulletins and advisories to attract attention to recent events and recently-released documents and research concerning Internet filtering.

Internet Watch

Internet Watch reports investigate emerging trends in Internet filtering and control. These occasional reports take a detailed look at events, policies, technologies and countries where filtering and content controls are occurring in new and unexpected ways, or where filtering has been alleged but undetected using conventional ONI testing methodologies. They are designed to test hypotheses, refine monitoring techniques, and report on the cutting edge of the global informational battle space.
